If I want to use the new Django 1.x support do I replace the django install in the app engine SDK ... or do I add it to my app as a module? If I add it ... how do I prevent it from being uploaded with the rest of the app?
I'm also wondering about Django performance. Here was my test case: create a very basic app Django Patch ... display a page (no db reads ... just display a template) ... point mon.itor.us at it every 30 minutes ... latency is about 1500-2000ms. I assume it's because Django Patch zips up django into a package and the package adds overhead ... the first time it's hit the app server has to unzip it (or is it every time it's hit?) Woah ... that seemed a bit high for my taste ... I want my app to be reasonably performant ... and that's not reasonable. Try 2: create a very basic app displaying a template, use the built in django template engine but without any of the other django stuff ... use the GAE webapp as my framework. response time is now down to 100-200ms on average, according to mon.itor.us. I assume this would come down further if my app proved popular enough to keep it on a server for any length of time. I'm brand new to python, app engine and django ... I have about 10 years of experience with PHP and am a pretty good developer in the PHP space. I would like to work on GAE with some sense of what the best practices are for scalable and performant apps. Here are my conclusions based on my very simple research thus far: 1) Django comes at a cost ... especially if you don't use the default install that comes built with the SDK. 2) Best practices is probably to pick and choose django components on GAE but use webapp as your primary framework. Thoughts? Am I off here? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
